Instructions

Description: The Mediterranean Citrus Spritz is a delightful, refreshing cocktail that encapsulates the essence of a sunny Mediterranean coast. The crispness of gin is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tart limoncello, while fresh lemon and basil bring a burst of aromatic freshness. Olive oil provides a surprising, velvety texture that beautifully balances the drink, creating a truly innovative cocktail experience. The sugar and salt rim adds an extra layer of flavor that enhances the citrus components, making this cocktail a tantalizing treat for the taste buds. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin - 1 oz Limoncello - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1/4 oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2 Fresh Basil Leaves - 1 Thin Lemon Slice (for garnish) - Ice Cubes - Sugar and Salt Mix (for rimming the glass) - Soda Water (optional, for a lighter version) Glass: Chilled Coupe Glass Instructions: 1. Prepare your chilled coupe glass by rubbing a lemon slice around the rim and dipping it into a mix of equal parts sugar and salt to coat the edge. 2. In a shaker, combine the gin, limoncello, fresh lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. 3. Slap the basil leaves between your hands to release their oils and add them to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled and emulsified. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared coupe glass. 6. If you prefer a less potent drink, top up with a splash of soda water. 7. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon floating on top. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the complexity and freshness of your Mediterranean Citrus Spritz.
